Okay since your body was tired is what it sounds like it feel asleep before your mind did the "itches" and "moves" were signals that your body was sending to your mind to say hey are you asleep and if you don't respond then your body falls asleep which is when you are in SP and your body starts vibrating. don't let this scare you. I would recommend you start dream recalling or to start a dream journal but congrats on having a WILD those are the hardest. when you even glimpse a dream you should "open" your LDing eyes (just imagine your eyes being opened) and if the dream is fuzzy try looking at your hands(not real ones) and if the dream still is fuzzy after that try "rubbing" your hands together and if it still doesn't work try imagining the suncoming out or like the dream just getting clearer. sorry this is so long just ask if your have any more questions and i will try to answer them to the best of my abilities.

Welcome To Dream Views! Yup, sounds like you were experiencing hypnagogic imagery, And some sleep paralysis. It's nothing to be afraid of, that stuff is natural and generally pretty fascinating to experience. It does sound like your on the right track with WILDing. Though you may want to try other methods as well. Good Luck!

10x very much for reply , i was scared a lot the first time cause i didn`t heard about this kind of dreaming and i didn`t know why those images were making so fast in my head . i hope i have a full LD, it sounds cool like flying , i did it 4-5 times in my own random dream , but i knew the second 3rd time im dreaming and i just enjoyed it , i was flying above buildings and a lake , i hope i`ll have some other dreams like that cause it was out of this world, almost real sensation cheers

Welcome to Dream Views, dejvn. Pretty neat that you figured all this out through your own experimentation. Keep exploring that hazy zone between awake and asleep. If you can become comfortable in that hypnagogic stage, you will get some awesome WILDs. You mention that you were very tired when you first tried the WILD. Your mind was probably entering a REM dreaming period right away. If you want to try again, I would recommend doing the same thing after 4-5 hours of sleep. Its a lot easier to WILD in the middle of your sleep cycle.

whats rc?

[Jdeadevil]

Welcome to the forum. RC means Reality Check, you do it to make sure you're dreaming. Say if you saw a pink elephant, you know it can't be real, so you do a Reality Check. An example is to look at your hands, your brain can't generate hands properly in dreams so it forces your hands to look wrong in your dream, and that's what you're looking for. You look at your hands, you find out something's wrong, then you know you're dreaming. Sounds simple but it requires time and patience.

whats rc? reality check it is the best method, i think, for people who are trying to LD for the first time. how i do RC is plug my nose and mouth and try to breathe you should do it on a regular schedule so that your body just does it while you sleep. Jdeadevil has some good ways to do it also
